Local fell . #kendal #cumbria #lakedistrict

OK, so we’ve been lucky enough to have spent some time in Argentina, with a decent chunk of that time in Patagonia. As a climber and geologist, it’s been fascinating. Hiking through and across the valleys around Fitzroy and Cerrito Torre were a highlight of course. . #argentina #patagonia #fitzroy

Had a quick look at the bird site, people have apparently exposed that oil ie ‘fossil fuels’ is not actually ‘made of dinosaur fossils’, but that it is ‘naturally made inside earth’. Slow clap.

Was uncertain about posting this photo. Actually took very few but still felt compelled to visit out of profound respect. Everything shrouded in fog seemed somehow fitting. The worst images were captured forever in my mind. @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

Sun down dog walk, The Helm. . #kendal #cumbria

Meanwhile over on Twitter, someone's making tea in an air fryer. It's like the last days of Rome.
